The presented article attempts to explain the actions of heroes in folk tales as mani-festation of their ritual initiation progress. This paper concludes with suggestion that the young and underestimated heroes have to pass a fight with an enemy of old age. With his defeating the hero finishes his own initiation and becomes a stable component of social hierarchy in the world of folk tales.
